One thing I have noticed on this board is the wisdom and understanding of many women here. Sue, Diane and Miss Abby comes to mind. Also, it has gotten to where when Helen speaks, I listen.
Others include Artimaeus, Jailminister, Joseph_Botwinick, Ed Edwards, massdak, Trotter and no doubt many more.

I do not have a hard line group who I particularly agree or disagree with.... I love you all in Our Lord. But Trotter and USN and I seem to be in the same boat. New or preparing for pastoral ministry. They have presented many relevant issues. I have also learned a lot from everyone here... Dr. Bob may be a little old school but he is cool... and Brother Jim always has thoughtful responses. y'all just keep posting and keep me running back to the Word and His counsel and I will keep learning. I even learn from Rev Joshua, even i disagree most with him.
rev joshua? you learned from?
rev joshua makes my blood boil.
i have called on him to stop teaching and preaching many many times. in fact if he can see this post now i call on him to stop, turn, and learn from massdak.
my first post was about a methodist preacher, he is so liberal that he believed every liberal doctrine known to man, i first saw his post on the old history channel Christianity forums, i was hoping he was the exception to the rules, but then i saw joshuas post and some of his cohorts, it was very very discouraging and now i hear he has his own board. it truly is liberalism run amok.
i do not suppose he would stop his forum if i asked him too.
Rev. Joshua is a very kind considerate person. I can say this because when I first joined the Baptist Board, my daughter had died suddenly leaving two small children and I didn't know how much I should assist their dad in their care. I did not want to interfere, but I wanted the Dad to know that I would help him anyway I could.
I asked for guidance and support on this Board. Rev. Joshua sent me a private message encouraging me and advising me on how to support their Dad without interfering. His message was very comforting and I will be forever grateful that he took time to send me the message.
He may not believe the same as you do, but he cares for others and I don't think I have ever seen a post where he belittled anyone.
If Rev. Joshua is a liberal, then it makes me think that being a liberal may be a good thing.

One of my best friends in the world is an atheist. He is intelligent, thoughtful, well-read, erudite, considerate, and brave (he worked for the State Department, and in the early '60s saved the lives of a group of missionaries who had been taken hostage at great risk to his own life). We have communicated about the Gospel over the years, so it's not like he doesn't know. His late wife was a believer as well.
As a man and as a friend, he surpasses most of the Christians I've ever met, but if he died right now, he'd spend eternity in hell, because he is lost and undone.
True believers will grow in Christlikeness, and one of the most important parts of that is objective Truth--John 14:6, 18:36-38.
Good behavior does not trump bad doctrine.
that was good of joshua and a very Christian thing to do, i believe that Christians are less likely to help out sometimes, it seems that when a person needs assistance God will provide, He may send a Christian in time of need or God may not send anyone, the best thing in time of need is to lean on the Lord and not other Christians. Christians should help their brothers and sisters and the best way to do that is to always point to Christ. did joshua do that? (direct you to Christ?)

Rom 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. (KJV)
We are to avoid those who stray from the apostles’ doctrine.
2 Th 3:6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. (KJV)
We are to withdraw from Christians who refuse to live right and not follow the way that God has laid down in His Word.
2 Th 3:14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. (KJV)
We are to have no company with those who refuse to obey the principles and precepts of the Word of God.
What you believe does make a difference.

#1 There is not an if about it he is a liberal, he has stated so many times on this board.
#2 Being a liberal is not a good thing.

I have had many private conversations with Joshua and have no doubt whatever that he is a dedicated twice-born believer. The fact that he follows a different path of understanding God's word does not alter that fact.
The only labels I put any stock in are sewn to garments I wear. They tell the size and give laundry instructions.
These religious labels are a lot of hogwash and I personally despise them. I began to wonder if the lot of you even know what a liberal is. How many of you go back far enough to even remember the days of the modernist battles?
Just delight yourself in the Lord, and get on with it.
Cheers,
Jim

with many witnesses of how others here had
helped us in our Christian walk:
j_barner2000: "I even learn from Rev Joshua, even i disagree most with him."
Here is where the topic took the nosedive:
Massdak: "rev joshua? you learned from?
rev joshua makes my blood boil."
Ed's Mother: "If you don't have something good to
say about somebody, don't talk about them."

Amen, Jim. Actually, I don't go back far enough to remember the days of the modernist battles.
I said it a few days ago, and I will say it again: I have respect for him. We weren't always in agreement, but he was never averse to rational discussion. I always enjoyed his posts.
